Hey andy, it's garry. I spoke to you at nd. As said, i waited 4 years to see it, and now you post it on here!
My mk1 is going to be yellow, so yours must be green.
Get the build pics up aswell, would be easier for me to get a helping hand, if you know what i mean.
Cheers mate.

i,m tempted to remove the body kit and tub the rear end so i can get it lower& possibly fit bigger wheels and redo the front spoiler to get it lower & bigger intake for intercooler and fans on out side ,but as to what colour I might put it to the vote on these pages at a later date

this car would look sooooooo good in white with anthracite wheels! the colour scheme is really letting it down at the minute imho! would look better all one colour (yellow) if you didnt want to do a colour change though...

probably not as i am still running on standard box and diff,s which is amazing because i do not treat it with respect when i drag it down at portreath air base ,i hold it at 5500 slip clutch hold on hand brake then side step clutch and nail it .I have done this 4 10 yrs and it is now getting a little bit noisy & a bit slack on rear diff (portreath is a untreated tarmac runway so it wheel spins off the line a lot )best time on 360 motor &75 of nos is 11 .0 @137mph 3yrs ago.
